Edit Renown - not for cheating, there is valid a reason

Phoenix3000 · 01-26-07, 04:33 AM

HI all,

Had a very annoying problem last night with renown.

I just finished a patrol in Feb 1942, driving a type VIIC out of Brest. I came across TWO convoys and scored 11 ships in total, 2 tankers and 9 cargo with full manual targeting and full realism settings (except external camera - I too like the eye candy!). My total tonnage was just over 83,000 tons.

Now, when I returned to port I had earned a little over 3000 Renown points. So, after promoting some crew members, and enlisting some new men I still had about 2000 left.

So I went to the u-boat upgrade screen and added some Bold decoys, an engine upgrade and a few other bits and pieces including the first radar. I still had a little over 500 renown left.

I then clicked on the torpedo loadout screen and saw that it had put Falke homing torpedoes into my forward tubes. Personally I prefer the steam driven or standard electrics at the front as I usually fire from up close or from within a convoy.

So I changed these out no problem. But - I accidentally added a Falke to my stern stores. This took off 500 renown leaving me with only 25 left. When I changed it back to the steam driven torp that was there in the first place I didn't get the renown back! - I just lost 500 renown points!!

So, unable to find a way around it I exited the game, and updated my personnel profile in SH3 Commander and left it for the night, with a view to posting this question today.

So the question is - how can I get those 500 points back that basically shouldn't have been kept by the game. In this instance I don't see it as cheating if I edit a config file somewhere, but if there is another way I would appreciate it if you can point me in the right direction.

Cheers guys!

PS - Just noticed I screwed up the grammar in the title!!! - Should obviously read "Edit Renown - not for cheating, there is a valid reason"

Go to:
C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR USER NAME \My Documents\SH3\data\cfg\Careers\CAREER NAME

Choose patrol numer -whatever you are currently on

Open the read me file in note pad, scroll down near the bottom and you should see-
DeltaRenown=25.000000
change value back to
DeltaRenown=500.000000

Then save the file.

Hope this helps..

Ummm, doesn't the fact that we are all playing on the wrong side mean that we have all joined the Dark Side?

/Not that there is anything wrong with that...

We do not play on the wrong side.

We play on the side that is doomed to loose, but if it wasn't, it could happen to be the 'good one' after the war. It's all the matter of who's the winner and who wrote the story.

But personally I prefer tha black over the white colour (actually 'black' isn;t a colour, but that's irrelevant.).

And to make myself clear - I am absolutely NOT a nazi follower or supporter. I'm extremely glad that the III Reich was defeated. I've lost two grandparents in Nazi Death Camps and another two of unknown fate, dissapeared in '44.

Are nuts that means me too.

OK since no one is saying anything I will let it out and join all of you guys in the Sith

If you want more renown but you don't want to cheat you can alter your realism settings. That means you can play in any realism level you like and still get full renown for the ships you kill. That way at least you do 'earn' the renown

To do this you have to edit the GameplaySettings.cfg file at C\Program Files\Ubisoft\SH3\data\Cfg To do this go towards the end of the file where it say [Realism Settings]. There set every realism setting you're not using to zero and add more value to the ones you're using. Be careful though as all the numbers should add to 100. That way you're playing at 100% realism for the computer and you get full renown.

Now can I have my place in Sith:p

@ Mel

The knowledge you now weld with this realism hack does indeed mean that you have joined the dark side.

Never underestimate the power of the dark side, DarthMel.
